Ooo 3 A-10s! A rarity over here in England

Ooo 3 A-10s! A rarity over here in England

And all those F-16's! Not too keen on the colour scheme though  

guys, one day those a-10's will be spotted in england

Well, I've seen A-10s in England. This was some years ago & not at an air display. Can't remember where this was now but I'm sure some are (or were) based here.

Nice photos. BTW
Shame they weren't a tad bigger. You're allowed up to 800 pixels wide so take advantage of it. If you've got it, flaunt it I say.

I've also seen A-10s in England! Mildenhall '98 I believe. I've seen Drakens, Crusaders and all sorts of other goodies, but they don't come around enough! Though I don't think we'll be seeing Crusaders in the skys again

Dude man those pic suck! I mean what were you using to take them? It wasn't a Polaroid camera was it?  :P

Can't really punish Jared for being honest

Well, everyone's entitled to post their photos here & these aren't bad at all. If I was worried about quality I wouldn't have posted any as there are plenty of photographers around that are better than me, in fact most of them are. Please don't discourage IcelandExpress or anyone else. A little constructive criticism would be much better so for what it's worth I'll tell you what I honestly think.

I don't know if these were taken with a camera or a mobile phone but that doesn't matter. I think they could be improved a lot by being bigger (800 pixels wide) & maybe cropped a little before resizing. More than half the secret is in presentation & a little post-processing can make all the difference. The main problem is that most people have no idea how to do that. I wouldn't mind having a go at one of the originals myself & wouldn't mind betting that you would be amazed at the difference. You could also lose the date from your camera preferences. Unless you particularly want it on there this tends to spoil the effect.

This is what I mean. Remember I'm working from a small compressed image so if I had the original it would look a lot better than this.

After.


PS. This took less than 1 minute in IrfanView.

Nice shots, Iceland. Shame about the weather though.
